One Page Business Plan

Don’t want to devote
hours to coming up with a detailed business plan? Try this simple
outline for a one-page plan, and the next time you run into Warren
Buffett in an elevator, you’ll be ready to pitch him your idea. Just be
prepared with some more detail once he bites.

Vision

This is where you outline the vision of your company. The hopes,
the dreams, why you’re getting into this business in the first place.
Want to revolutionize the cardboard box industry? Tell us why here.

Mission Statement

Now that you’ve laid out why you want to get into this business,
use the mission statement to explain what the business does, and who
the customers/clients will be.

Timeline

Detail the dates leading up to, and including, the launch of this
company. If you intend to market heavily prior to launch, indicate when
that begins. Mention when hiring starts, and when you intend to secure
a location (if necessary) for the business.

Strategies

You’ve told us the “why,” the “how,” and the “when,” and now we
need to know the “what.” What will you do to get this business going?
What is your marketing strategy? What are your plans once the business
has begun? What do you intend to do to keep things running smoothly on
a day-to-day basis?

Funds Required

Outline the money needed to get the business up and running, plus
whatever will be necessary to keep it going once it’s started. Include
at least a basic one-year projection of costs and profits.
